Nerdy Comedic Romance with Spice

Amanda Richards is my comedic romance penname.

I am currently working on a single-parent romance series, but I also have plans for several stand-alone spin offs, and a next generation college series

You can expect all of my contemporary romances to feature nerd culture in some way. I believe that love is love and I write m/f, f/f, m/f and nb pairings for both main characters and side characters even within the same series. And at least one, if not both, of my main characters will most likely be dealing with some sort of neurodrivergence or mental health issue in every book. I hesitate to call my books "Rom Coms" because they do often deal with heavy topics, but in a light hearted way with lots of laughs.

What is Kindle Vella anyway?

Kindle Vella is Amazon's version of a platform for episodic story telling (similar to the radish app, or wattpad)

Author's post stories one "episode" at a time (like short chapters) for readers to enjoy. To give you a chance to get a feel for an author's style, and a story's premise, the first three episodes of any story are free to read. After that, you use "tokens" to unlock new episodes. Episodes can cost between 6 and 30 tokens. It's based on length and most episodes seem to be about 10-15 tokens. To get you started, all new users get 200 tokens, and tokens are pretty inexpensive after that. Check it out for free and see what you think!
